A small full-size horizontal engine, of the type used to power small machines in the days before widespread availability of electricity and fractional horsepower motors.

Complete, the engine turns over freely and runs well on air, with some wear evident in the main bearings and big end.

Brightwork is covered in light surface rust which would clean off easily - the bilious gloss green paintwork would take a little longer to remove...

Stripped, cleaned and repainted into a shade more sympathetic to the period would produce a fine looking engine.
